Sinopsis

Pensees,áor thoughts, is a collection of fragments onátheologyáandáphilosophyáwritten byá17th-century philosopheráandámathematicianáBlaise Pascal. Pascal often examined the same event or example through many different lenses. PascalâÇÖsáreligious conversionáled him into a life ofáasceticism, and theáPenseesáwas in many ways his lifeâÇÖs work.áPenseesárepresented PascalâÇÖs defense of theáChristian religion, andáis widely considered to be a masterpiece, and a landmark ináFrench prose.When Paschal died, his executors, failing to recognize the basic structure of Pensees, handed them over to be edited, and they were published in 1670. Since then, the proper order of theáPenseesáis heavily disputed. One of theátextâÇÖs main strategies was to use the contradictory philosophies ofáPyrrhonismáandáStoicism, personalized byáMontaigneáon one hand, andáEpictetusáon the other, in order to bring the unbeliever to such despair and confusion that he would embrace God.This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.á
